Question:

Can some explain what the russian civil war was about? and between who?

ok so the bolsheviks wanted to take over the nation, so who were the red army and the white? who was the war between and why did it started.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The Red Army consisted of those supporting the Bolshevik takeover. The whites were deposed nobles, capitalists, re.ligious people, non-Russian ethnics, supporters of liberal democracy and others who opposed the Bolsheviks. Natually the conflicting interests of the white factions virtually guaranteed they would eventually lose.
